“Biscuit thoroughly enjoyed his visit with Shanagay. She sent many pictures, videos, and updates to let us see how much fun he was having. Biscuit romped and played with Shanagay's little dog Cash and the pics were adorable! We'll definitely call on Shanagay's dog sitting services for Biscuit again and again! Thanks so much for doing such a great job.”
“At first I was nervous since it was my first time using the service but I had to travel out for six days of business conferences. Steve and his wife and son are awesome. They even had my guy in the pool teaching him how to swim. I got tons of pics every day and texts on how he was doing. Towards the end I was worried if my dog would want to return home with me!!! These people are awesome amazing giving souls. I am thankful to have found them and to know there are people out there like this. Sent from my iPhone”

“I was a bit anxious about leaving my pups as they can be a little high maintenance. Patrick and Susan were wonderful with them, though. They sent pictures everyday with a note about how the dogs were doing and what they did with them that day. They took them for walks and played ball just like the pups like to do. They also had everything ready to go when it was time to pick them up. I would certainly ask Patrick and Susan to care for my pups again in the future. Thanks for taking great care of my buddies.”
